Up! Down! Left! Right!

Excerpt: This post by Peter Black highlights the latest twist in the neverending journey of the Conservative party in their quest to find a tax policy that is neither up, down, left or right. As another well-known Vulcan might say, this is "most illogical".

Sterling stuff Rob. I strongly suspect that Cameron's centrism is draining the Conservatives of member enthusiasm. Given the typical Tory member hates New Labour it beggars belief that they are not a bit peeved at having to advocate Blairite policies and vote for a Blairite style party. I also think that many swing voters might think, come election time, "sod it, I'm voting Labour" - better the devil you know etc etc.

I can see the logic behind flattening taxes, but all the international examples I've seen have much higher property taxes (which I also agree with). The problem with Young George and Spock is that they want the former but not the latter and the subsequent black hole that would open up at the treasury would be filled by the magic budget pixies.
